Six decades of packaging — direct from the manufacturer.
Since 1965, Arplast has been supplying businesses with packaging they can count on. As a family-owned manufacturer, we make and warehouse our products ourselves — so you buy direct from the source, with dependable quality, reliable supply, and factory-direct pricing.
No middlemen. No unnecessary markups. Just packaging from the manufacturer you can trust.
How we got here
For more than 60 years, we've built our business by understanding packaging, listening to our customers, and taking greater control of what we do. What started as a packaging supply business has grown into a manufacturing operation built around quality, consistency, and dependable service.

Why buying direct matters
Most packaging suppliers are distributors: they buy bags, mark them up, and ship them on. We are the factory. That difference shows up in four practical ways.
- Factory-direct pricing
- You pay for the bag and the shipping — not for a middleman's margin.
- Quality we can answer for
- Material, gauge, and print are controlled by us, so problems get solved at the source rather than passed along a supply chain.
- Custom without the runaround
- Any size, any thickness, printed with your brand. Short-run printing starts at 1,000 bags, and our staff supports you on both the technical and creative side.
- Stock that actually ships
- Millions of bags sit in our warehouse ready to go, with stock orders dispatched within 48 hours.
